I always love watching teams who've fought and battled pour respect on each other afterwards. So happy to see Bob finally get a cup!

[kevinwong]

Both teams give it all. Well done both and congratulations Panthers.

McDavid showed alot of class during the handshake line. His time will come. Some poor kid in Africa will be wearing the oiler's stanley cup chamption hat and teeshirt.

Best part of hockey 🏒 gentlemen shaking hands after the battling in the hockey trenches. Hard core Oilers fan! Congratulations Florida Panthers 👏

[ProJock]

Holding back tears to shake hands is tough.

Loved the extra respect between McDavid and Bennett. Both players knew each other since childhood and have come so far.

[anthonydelke]

this is why i love playoff hockey. on ice its war after its all love and respect. no other sport does this after each series whether they win or lose. yeah others they meet in the middle of the field or whatever thats not this. hockey players are the most humble players in all sports period.

History was made as Panthers take home their first Stanley Cup!

The hug between McDavid and Skinner gave me tears.

[CourtyardPigeon]

I really wanted McDavid to win his first cup and this series was amazing, but I'm glad Florida won at home.

Thank-you sir.

If Edmonton had won the cup, everyone would talk about the 0-3 series comeback all summer. Now that they lost, no one's going to talk about it. Crazy

[boxbreaker]

I gotta say....this is one of the BEST forms of sportsmanship in all sports. Despite losing a heartbreaking game 7, they were not sore losers, they shook their opponents hand and congratulated them. It's truly great.

[clmnllg]

This the greatest tradition in sports.
Professional Hockey is in a whole lever of skill/grace, brutality and sheer will

[pauldickson]

Best series I’ve seen . Both teams were awesome. Too bad someone has to lose . Thanks for the efforts of both teams !!👍

I feel for McDavid and Draisaitl. They both deserve a cup. They will get theirs soon enough. What a game 7 though and what a team the Panthers are. Best team in hockey the past two seasons. Hockey is dominated by Florida. 3 of the last 5 Stanley Cups have come through Florida teams.

[jasonmutschall]

What a nice beginning to a summer for everybody in. Edmonton

First time my birthday came BEFORE the last NHL Playoff game! Feel sad for the Oilers, who played so valiantly to make the 7th game possible.

One of the BEST playoff finals in history, amazing series.
